Use the Draft Faces dialog to change the draft angle of faces of a solid.
- Click Solid Tools tab > Modify Face panel > Draft to display the Draft Faces dialog.
- Select the Select the faces to draft option, and select the faces to draft.
- Select one of the following types of reference entity from the drop-down list:
- Face — a face of the solid.
- Surface — a surface of the model.
- Workplane — a workplane in the model.
- Select the Select the reference entity option, and select the reference entity.
- Use
to define the draw direction.
- If this button is selected and the reference entity is a planar face or surface, the draw direction is defined as the normal of that face or surface. If the reference entity is a workplane, the draw direction is defined as the Z-axis of that workplane.
- If this button is not selected (or the reference entity face or surface is not planar), the draw direction is defined as the current principal plane axis.
- Enter an
Angle or use the drag handle to create the required draft angle.
Note: If you enter an angle that will make the draft face conflict with other geometry, the cursor changes to
when it is moved over the model.
- Click

Draft Faces Options dialog. Use this dialog to specify the way the graphics are previewed.

These buttons work on the current operation; when you have selected Apply, you are not able to change the solution for the applied operation.
- Click Apply to make the changes to the model.
Tip: When the
Draft Faces dialog is displayed, you can use Home tab > Selection panel > Restore to restore the previous set of selected faces to draft.
